The Cyprus conflict was for long an inactive volcano, but it erupted violently in 1955, 1963 and 1974. Now more of a smouldering fire, its persistence is a serious obstacle on Turkey's route to EU accession. Uniquely utilizing Turkish sources, this book looks at how the conflict has developed since 1978.

'Dodd provides a comprehensive view of the Cyprus dispute. [...] [T]his books is a worthwhile introdution/analysis [...and...] has undoubtedly made a helpful and informative contribution to the literature of the Cyprus problem.' - Ed Brown, The Round Table
